Norm Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 If you build it they will come! I'll do my best to turn up. Only an hour from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I can turn up with some vintage basses and guitars if interested? Also I know a DB luthier who I could potentially ask? Edited April 5, 2016 by Jebo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroybasslines Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'd be up for a Bristol Bash for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatcoupe432 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Anyone trying to organise a bristol bazh for 2017? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Let me know if anyone is indeed organising a Bristol event I'm only over the bridge in Cardiff. Perhaps a few fellow South Walians might like to share a lift too? Keep me in the loop - I'll pop over to it if I can...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyMunky Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'd come from West Sussex for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've probably got more free time than most on this forum so I'll pick this one up if no-one has any objections - maybe aim for May/June? Could invite Steven Chowny to come along with a few of his basses. How would you feel about making it a South-West bash rather than specifically Bristol? I'm sure I could find a more flexible / user-friendly / cheaper venue between Bristol and Taunton within easy reach of the M5, e.g. one of the many nice village halls around these parts.

Marc S Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'd definitely still consider coming over if it was a bit further Like the idea of Steven Chowny coming along!

[/quote] Again, easy enough. Maybe it might be worth inviting Stuart Clayton too for a seminar or something considering he lives out of North Devon and travels into Bristol to teach? That information, of which has been sat in the back of my mind for god knows how long, may be a bit out of date but it's worth a shot nonetheless.

scrumpymike Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) OK, I've taken 3 positive replies as a mandate to go ahead and have just left a message on Stephen's mobile (spelled his name right this time btw). If he's up for attending, I'll ask him to give a short presentation on Chowny and his experiences of designing basses, getting them manufactured first in China and now India - and having to do an unplanned re-design to avoid legal action. As I write these words the phone rings and it's Stephen returning my call. He's more than up for it and also says he'll mention it to David (Konig?) at Retrovibe. So far so good then! Could anyone else who'd like to come post or pm me whether you'd prefer a Saturday or a Sunday (I'm guessing Sunday will be more popular) and let me know if there's any dates when you couldn't attend.

scrumpymike Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Right, that's the venue booked as follows: Sunday, April 2nd at The Memorial Hall, Cheddon Fitzpaine, near Taunton, Somerset TA2 8JY. The hall is located 3 miles from M5 J25 in secluded woodland on the outskirts of the village and should be comfortably less than an hour's drive from Bristol on a Sunday. For images and more information visit [u]www.cheddonfitzpainevillagehall.co.uk[/u] This will be my last post on this thread as I'm now starting a new topic entitled South-West Bass Bash on the Events forum.
